1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘O people, verily I am a human being like you, and it might be that I have some kind of connection between me and you through our loins, so whoever I have afflicted whether it be in their honour, one strand of their hair, their skin, their money, here is the honour, hair, skin, and money of Muhammad, so they should stand up and take their reprisals! And none of you should say: I fear the enmity and grudge of Muhammad. Verily, these two are not of my nature and not of my morals.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 39831]

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Any person who is afflicted on their body in any way, and they remit this out of charity, Allah will elevate their level and demote their mistakes.’

5– Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS), with regard to Allah’s verse in the Qur’an: “There is life for you in retribution” said, ‘Because whoever intends to kill and knows that he will be punished as a result, and refrains from doing so, there will be
[a new] life for the person who he intended to kill, for the criminal who wanted to kill, and life for people other than these two who know that retribution is obligatory and they do not dare kill for fear of retribution.’
[Tafsir al-Imam Hasan al-`Aaskari (AS), p. 595, 354]
